Anarchy is a far more ancient technology.
Anarchy like people are proposing has never existed. We evolved from a tribal/pack species. We always had someone designated a leader, because that was the best way for our species to survive. Eventually those leaders got more and more power, and we ended up with tribal leaders, kings and millitary commanders, then elected representatives and dictators. The idea of everyone being able to make their own decisions, because everyone has access to information, money, production, and defense, has never been attempted before, because it was not possible until quite recently.
How about DNA banks set up world-wide that collect and preserve DNA of various species of flora and fauna? The ongoing research and planning in NASA and various universities about the techological requirements we would need to terraform Mars and Venus? (we're damn close to getting Mars figured out, to the point that, if we can survive in Antarctic, which we can, we can survive on Mars) The tons of biodome experiments we have had for decades, and still perform? The huge improvements in hydroponics and other tight-space crop growing experiments? I'm not looking all that far out with the stuff you quoted. It's just a small step from where we are now.
